PREFACE

NAAC Bangalore has a clear-cut policy towards Accreditation and

Assessment of Higher Educational Institutions in India. The criteria, sub-sections

under each category as well as the weightage accorded to each category are based on

the type of institutions being accredited, are also well laid down.

However, when it comes to preparing the institution for accreditation over a

period of 5 years several aspects require greater understanding, awareness among

different stake holders, a definite action plan to generate, collate, preserve and present

the data in a lucid fashion so that each constituent of the institution is aware of its

responsibilities and the expectations of the University and the visiting team.

For Government Science College-Gandhinagar, Accreditation is a unique

opportunity to plan the course of our future. Hon. Principal, Government Science

College-Gandhinagar, immediately formed a Steering Committee for preparing the

SSR along with an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) to gear up the college

Accreditation.

The SSR is divided into three parts. Part A consists of institutional profile, Part

B consists of criterion-wise input and Part C has Evaluative Reports of The

Departments.

Attempt has been made in the SSR to clearly reflect as to how the College has

steered its path for the quality sustenance and enhancement after first cycle of

accreditation.

The present report is the outcome of the participatory process of all the

departments and the administrative sections. Dr. K. G. Chhaya, Principal and

Chairman of IQAC of this College, took keen interest and provided a decisive

leadership in shaping the report. All the staff members provided the requisite inertia

to smoothen the process of compiling the report together and provided rare

administrative and moral support. The Head of various Departments and faculty

members have readily provided all the necessary inputs from time to time. The entire

team of the College officials was an excellent assistance in the process. I take this

opportunity to thank all of them for their most willing and cooperative roles without

which this task would have been impossible.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK

It has been observed during last five-seven years that the International need

has compelled to shift paradigm of higher education in Gujarat state. Therefore,

structure of entire higher education system is redesigned to achieve mainly the needs

of students, employment and economic development through education in addition to

merely an education. Competition for students is becoming grim, similarly any

academic institutions put efforts to achieve new heights in competition with another

organization. As a result of this, a student gets much stronger identification. By giving

proper placement to its students, academic institute increases its intake & expands by

itself. Institution attains strength by fresh students by which it come up with external

diversity. Well-qualified academic staffs, competent students, education with extra-

curricular activities and participation of students in research and industry-institute

collaboration definitely give full benefit of the time spent in academic institute. Our

institute will offer & help in achieving your desired goals by providing all

opportunities.

Executive Summary

Government Science College – Gandhinagar (Gujarat) vi

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Gandhinagar, the new capital city of the state of Gujarat was established on

2nd August 1965, which is located approximately 25 km north of old capital city of

Ahmedabad. The city of Gandhinagar lies on the bank of river Sabarmati and it is

almost at centre point of industrial corridor between Delhi, the national capital city of

India and Mumbai, The financial capital of India. Gandhinagar has been selected as

one of the hundred Indian cities to be developed as a smart city under PM Narendra

Modi's flagship Smart Cities Mission.

Since its inception, GSC-G has remained a pioneer and successful institute in

dissemination of science education in the district. This college has passed through

many ages and witnessed so many changes. During the initial time, only the children

of government officials were the major part of the strength but later on people from

nearby rural area also undertaken higher education from this institute. In 1992, this

college was bifurcated from Government Art and Science College, Gandhinagar and

came into existence as a separate institution. Government Science College,

Gandhinagar today is obviously one of the leading and best of its kind in the Gujarat

University. Many other government colleges are associated with this institute on

academic and administrative way.

This college has five departments and disseminate degree in Physics,

Chemistry, Mathematics, Botany and Microbiology. Intake capacity is 520 at entry

level. English is taught as a foundation subject. This college has one botanical garden,

11 laboratories with minimum capacity of 60 students at a time, 99 berths in boys’

hostel, 80 students’ capacity in two floored library, ladies room, DELL, BISAG (under

blended learning) – a state wide classroom online learning facility, Conference room

NCC, NSS. This college has two play grounds one for cricket and other for volley

ball, handball and other games. We also have facilities for playing table tennis, carom.

Equity – Grant from RUSA is also sanctioned this year where various activities like

remedial classes, gender sensitisation, and placement / counselling cell, carrier

guidance cell is undertaken. This college has established various cells like women

harassment cell, Women development cell, SC/ST Cell, Anti ragging Cell, Hostel

Management Committee. To maintain scientific temper regular activities are

Executive Summary

Government Science College – Gandhinagar (Gujarat) vii

conducted under IAPT, Eco club, Nature club, Ganit Mandal and Chemical Society.

Due to increase in strength of the students, old building was extended during 2009.

If we look criteria-wise picture ours is a UG college affiliated to Gujarat

University and adopted CBCS since last 5 yrs. Being a government college we do not

have major role in apex bodies of university but as a part of government, we do have

specific role to play in development of curricula and extra curricula also. Our

immediate officers from higher level like Commissioner and Secretary Education are

senate and syndicate members. We had IGNOU centre for nearly 8yrs during 2002-

09.

Regarding teaching-learning and evaluation, our system is more transparent

and accountable because we do not have any management seats or quota. We give full

incentives as per government norms and charge very nominal fees especially girl-child

is exempted from paying tuition fees at any level. Appointments are also through

public service commission and CAS is also as per norms. There is no any problem

regarding development grants. There is also a provision of departmental assessment

which is totally absent at university or GIA. We strictly obey rules right from

admission, and extend further to conduction of classes, examinations and evaluation.

Since we are running only under-graduate courses, our teaching staff members

are not engaged in full research oriented work. But they keep themselves updated with

recent development in respective fields by participating in conferences, attending

popular lectures and also by sharing knowledge with their colleagues. Some staff

members are recognized Ph D guide. There are also major and minor research projects

(UGC) completed from different departments. Number of published research papers

is increased during last 5yrs. More than 70% of teaching staff is Ph.D. holders or NET

qualified. Library is also updated with fresh edition of books and we are also providing

online library facility to all staff and students where 75000 books and 6000 journals

available 24X7. We also plan to start PG courses on self-finance basis once we get

approval from the government.

There are several students who earn credit for institute like selection in RD

Parade, University sports team or presentation of skill at national /state level. Due to

not having constant contact with our students after they pass out, it is not possible to

Executive Summary

keep records what they do or whether they go study or job. Even though we get

information from reliable sources that they do better where they go. That we know

during the annual meeting of alumni.

We propose to have visionary leadership behaviour through the tendency to

attain positive outcomes even by diverse teams. Past inconsistencies can be

reconciled by examining the joint impact of leader behaviour and try to enhance team

performance. We have put more trust on to the increase of GER, minimize drop out,

effective implementation of curricula with allied activities, enhancement of academic

performance and opportunity for placement and/or entrepreneurship.

Everybody has right to live in sustainable environmental conditions hence our

motto remains Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Hence, we opt for less carbon production

through installation solar panels in college and hostel, car-pooling or use of CNG, tree

plantation, water harvesting, use of bicycle. Social responsibilities are also part of

practice under NSS and Seva-Dhara. Use of latest software for library or N-List prog

and teaching learning through ICT are major attraction. Efficient functioning of

women cell, counselling and placement centre add flavours to performance.

The key activities proposed in the Institutional Development Proposal are

linked with the results of SWOC Analysis through enough deliberations,

discussions and meetings. The principal is the chief authority for designing

quality measures. He discusses with the members of the IQAC first and then

with the entire teaching staff before taking the matter to the management. The

management is always positive to developmental and quality oriented

initiatives and the measures are implemented with their consent.

Each committee chairperson analyzes, researches and consults before

undertaking any activity. For financial aid and infrastructural support the

Principal provides assistance. The Principal resolves the problems and always

tries to create healthy environment for student centered activities.

Criterion- II: Teaching – Learning and Evaluation


Criterion II: Teaching – Learning and Evaluation 2.1 Student Enrollment Profile. 2.1.1 How does the institution ensure publicity and transparency in the admission

process?

Mode & Process of Admission:

University level centralized online admission process conducted by Gujarat

University Admission Committee (GUAC) is followed by the college for

the first-year B.Sc. from the academic year 2016-17. (Previously, online

admission process was also followed in the academic year 2014-15,

whereas in the rest of the academic year’s offline admission process was

carried out by the college itself.)

The entire admission process is carried out by Gujarat University through

website http://www.gujaratuniversity.ac.in/web/custom/admissions

GUAC supervise, monitor and control the entire process of admission and

follows the rules and regulations and guidelines of Gujarat University as

per existing Government policies.

College level admission committee carry outs the counseling of the

applicants by explaining the scope of the course. Moreover, local college

level admission committee solves all the inquiries & queries of students /

parents regarding the online admission process.

Publicity and Transparency:

For the sake of publicity of online B.Sc. admission process, the university

uploads the details of the entire admission process in the university website.

Admission notification / circulars are also displayed on the college notice

board.

Information Booklet comprising of all the relevant information and

instructions is placed on University as well as college website.

Gujarat University publishes advertisement through Electronic and Print

Media.

To spread awareness regarding rules and regulations, admission process,

eligibility criteria, online registration, e-form, admission process, list of

available colleges with the courses offered, available seats, payment of

fees, preparation of merit list, filing grievances etc. amongst the admission

aspirants to first year B.Sc. program in Gujarat University, the Gujarat

University Admission Committee (GUAC) arranges awareness seminars at

different colleges of Gujarat University.

Application forms (e-forms) are made available on-line and can be

submitted on-line only. Merit lists are prepared by GUAC on the basis of

the marks in H.S.C. or 12th standard (Science) for all the categories as per

the rules & regulations. Admissions are strictly made on the basis of merit

and choices regarding the subjects and colleges filled by the applicant.

Admission Process for Subsequent Years:

College level different admission committees are formed for the

subsequent years, i.e., for S.Y. & T.Y. B.Sc. admission process.

Offline admission process is followed by each of the admission committee.

Each admission committee takes care of all the rules - regulations and

guidelines of the college in accordance of Gujarat University and

Government policies.

http://www.gujaratuniversity.ac.in/web/custom/admissions



As college follows the CBCS, admissions in the respective groups are given

as per students’ choices of subjects.

2.1.2 Explain in detail the criteria adopted and process of admission. (Ex. (i) merit,

(ii) common admission test conducted by state agencies and national

agencies, (iii) combination of merit and entrance test or merit, entrance test

and interview, (iv) any other) to various programmes of the institution.

Admission on Merit:

Our Institute admits students in First Year B. Sc. course on the basis of

merit list generated online by GUAC in all the categories as per the rules

& regulations of University and Government policies.

Merit:

Merit is prepared on the basis of percentage of marks obtained in theory

subjects (Physics-Chemistry-Mathematics for A Group and Physics-

Chemistry-Biology for B Group) by the candidate in his/her qualifying

examination Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSC) 10+2 pattern

Board examination.

Merit Number (Rank):

Merit number (rank) is given on the basis of percentage of marks as

mentioned above. The criteria for deciding merit order in case of candidates

having equal merit marks is based on the following descending sequence,

namely-

o Aggregate marks obtained in qualifying examination

o Practical Marks

o English subject marks in qualifying examination

o Aggregate marks of SSC Examination or equivalent examination

o Date of Birth (Age)

o Merit list is displayed both on the university website and the college

notice board.

Distribution of Seats among Candidates:

70% seats shall be reserved for candidates who have passed their qualifying

examination from the schools of Ahmedabad & Gandhinagar Districts

30% seats shall be reserved for candidates who have passed their qualifying

examination from the schools located outside Ahmedabad & Gandhinagar

District.

Common Admission Test:

There is no as such provision of common admission test as far as B.Sc.

admissions are concerned.

2.1.3 Give the minimum and maximum percentage of marks for admission at entry

level for each of the programmes offered by the college and provide a

comparison with other colleges of the affiliating university within the city/

district?

As the online admission process is purely centralized, the GUAC takes care of

all the things like preparing merit, merit list depicting merit rank, category wise

cutoff rank of each and every affiliated colleges etc. Merit list is prepared by

the GUAC and the numbers of candidates are allotted to a college looking to

the strength (intake capacity) of the divisions sanctioned by the university.



Maximum & Minimum Percentage of Marks at Entry Level:

Usually, it is observed that in the first merit list, maximum percentage of marks

at entry level may cross 70 % marks. But most of the students with higher

merits admitted in F.Y. B.Sc. semester 1 after the first round of admission leave

the college as and when they got admissions in Engineering and Medical fields.

Usually, online admission process of B.Sc. starts first, whereas online

admission process including shuffling and re-shuffling in Engineering and

Medical fields take too much time. So, as per parents’ wish most of the students

with higher merit secure their admission in B.Sc., but after getting admission

in engineering / medical colleges of their wish, they leave the basic science

college. This seems as higher dropout rate at entry level, but this is not the true

dropout rate.

On the other end, being a Government college, as per the guideline of inclusion

of all in higher education, minimum percentage of marks is obviously

minimum required passing marks. Many a times we have to give admissions to

the students, who have passed their qualifying examination, i.e., Higher

Secondary School Certificate (HSC) 10+2 pattern examination in second or

third attempt.

After the declaration of HSC (Science) results, HSC Board conducts special

exams for the students, who failed to secure passing marks in one subject. Such

students, who passed their qualifying examination in second attempt, usually

prefer to carry out higher studies in basic sciences and take admission in the

B.Sc. programme in Government science colleges.

Cutoff Rank in Round 2 of B.Sc. Semester 1 Online Admission: A

Comparison with other colleges of the affiliating university within the city

/ district:

The highlighted column (i.e. GSC-GNR) of Table 2.1 shows the category wise

as well as district wise cutoff rank in different subject groups offered in our

college in round 2 of B.Sc. Semester 1 online Admission Process conducted by

GUAC for the academic year 2016-17. (Total 3 Rounds for online admission

is carried out by GUAC. But here, just for an example & comparison, cutoff

rank for 2nd Round is shown in the table 2.1)

Table 2.1 also shows a comparison with other six colleges of the affiliating

university within the city and Gandhinagar district. Most of the colleges offer

different subject groups.

Remarkable difference in cutoff rank is observed not only for the different

colleges within Gandhinagar district, but also for the group A (with

mathematics) & group B (with biology) subjects, for different subjects’ groups

within the main A & B groups and also for different categories.

Table 2.1 clearly indicates that higher merit / cutoff rank is observed in each of

the subject groups offered in our college. This evidently shows that parents &

students prefer to fill first choice as our college during online admission

process.

2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admission process and

student profiles annually? If ‘yes’ what is the outcome of such an effort and

how has it contributed to the improvement of the process?

Being University level centralized admission process for entry level F.Y. B.Sc.

students, there is no such mechanism in the institution to review the admission

process at entry level.

But, Institute gives its inputs for the smooth conduction of F.Y. B.Sc.

admission process to GUAC formed at University level as and when asked or

required.

Whereas for the subsequent years’ admission process, respective admission

committee comprising of a Chairperson and a faculty member from each

department reviews the previous year’s admission process under the guidance

of Principal and undertakes changes, if necessary and follows the rules &

regulations of University and Government policies.

As per the norms of university under the CBCS semesterized system, no

students are considered as failed to remain in the same semester but all are

promoted to the next semester till the final 6th semester.

2.1.5 Reflecting of the strategies adopted to increase/improve access for following

categories of students, enumerates on how the admission policy of the

institution and its student profiles demonstrate/reflect the National

commitment to diversity and inclusion.



A SC / ST / OBC (SEBC):

As far as the entry level online admissions are concerned, GUAC takes care

of all the norms of reservation policies of the State Government. Whereas

for the subsequent year’s admission local admission committees of the

college adheres the norms of reservation policies.

To fulfill the National commitment to diversity and inclusion in education,

separate boys’ & girls’ hostel facilities are provided for all the categories

like SC, ST & OBC students by the Directorate of Scheduled caste welfare

and Directorate of developing caste welfare of the State Government of

Gujarat in Gandhinagar. And hence students from such categories prefer to

fill the choice of our institute at the time of online admission process.

C Differently abled:

3 % of the available seats in each category are kept reserved, in accordance

with the provisions of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities,



Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 (1 of 1996), for the

persons with disability who can perform the academic activities in the

respective program.

College also provides facility for differently abled students like ramp.

Special care and space is provided to such DIVYANG students during

examinations.

D Economically weaker sections:

were admitted against the intake capacity of the college. $ Demand Ratio is calculated against the intake capacity of the college.

**Only 411 students are enrolled at GU out of 550 students admitted in B.Sc. Sem 1.

Reason of Decrease in Demand Ratio from the academic year 2015-16: As

per the guidelines given by Department of Education, Gandhinagar and Gujarat

University, college has to keep 70% seats reserved for candidates who have

passed their qualifying examination from the schools of Ahmedabad &

Gandhinagar Districts and 30% seats for candidates who have passed their

qualifying examination from the schools located outside Ahmedabad /

Gandhinagar District. So, being a Government college, we have to follow the

guidelines and hence the flow of students from other districts is restricted by

the college. And as a consequence, demand ratio decreased in 2015 – 16.

2.2 Catering to Student Diversity 2.2.1 How does the institution cater to the needs of differently abled students and

ensure adherence to government policies in this regard?

As per Government of Gujarat and Gujarat University rules, college provides

3 %reservation for differently abled students.



Sufficient infrastructure for such students exists in the College. The College is

always very keen to make facilities available to such students on demand.

For the physically challenged students, the College has a ramp.

Weak-sighted students are provided a writer in the examination on their

request.

The differently-abled students are treated at par with other students as far as

teaching is concerned.

2.2.2 Does the institution assess the students’ needs in terms of knowledge and

skills before the commencement of the programme? If ‘yes’, give details on

the process.

As the college is affiliated with Gujarat University and has to follow online

admission process, there is no such formal provision in the college to assess

students’ knowledge and skills before the admission. The merit of students in

the last qualifying HSC examination is considered to be the basis of assessment

of the knowledge of the students before the commencement of the programmes.

Interaction of the teachers with the students during teaching – learning process

including theory classes as well as practical sessions helps teachers to

understand the level of necessary pre-required knowledge and skills of the

students.

2.2.3 What are the strategies adopted by the institution to bridge the knowledge

gap of the enrolled students (Bridge/Remedial/Add-on/Enrichment courses,

etc.) to enable them to cope with the programme of their choice?

In order to bridge the knowledge gap as well as skill gap of the enrolled

students and to enable them to cope with the courses of their choice, the

following strategies are followed and deployed by the college:

A Orientation Programme: After the completion of admission process, year

wise orientation programmes for newly admitted students are conducted to

provide the detail information of the B.Sc. programme, about Choice Based

Credit System (CBCS), brief history of college, various departments of

college and courses / subjects offered in the college, schemes and strategies

for internal & external evaluations, etc.

B Bilingual Teaching – Learning Process: Most of the students enrolled in

the college are from rural surrounding areas of Gandhinagar and having

Gujarati medium up to their 12th Class. Whereas some of the courses like

Microbiology and elective courses in other subjects are in English medium.

So, teachers use to give bilingual (English & Gujarati) explanations during

the classroom teaching as well as practical sessions.

C Extra Lectures: Teachers take extra lectures to provide necessary pre-

required fundamental knowledge to fill up the knowledge gap of the

students.

D Brushing up of the Basic Concepts: Brushing up of the basic concepts of

the subject is an important aspects of classroom teaching-learning process

to bridge the knowledge gap of students.

E Initial Practical Sessions to Provide Basic Skills: Teachers take extra

initial practical sessions to demonstrate the proper use of basic instruments

and provide hands on experience sessions before starting the actual

experiments of the course to provide necessary pre-required basic skills so

that students can make proper use the instruments with confidence.



F Personnel Guidance: Slow and advanced learners are identified from the

results of the first internal test, their interactions in classroom teaching and

performance of experiments in the laboratory. The faculty members are

very much involved in this aspect and guide them personally.

G Digital English Language Lab (DELL): The institution is very much

aware of the students’ levels of competency in language skills. Most of the

students admitted to our college are from rural background and little poor

in English, so DELL facility is provided to improve students’

communication skill, language proficiency as well as computer knowledge.

H Remedial Coaching: Remedial coaching is also offered to slow learner.

In case of advanced learners, the College promotes them to achieve their

maximum potential by suggesting further reading about the subject and also

encourage them to present working models and poster presentation in

intermediate college competitions.

2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as gender,

inclusion, environment etc.

A. Gender Sensitization:

As far as the question of gender is concerned, college provides equal

opportunities to both the sexes in terms of academic guidance, curricular,

co-curricular and extra-curricular activities including library facilities,

sports facilities, NCC and NSS activities.

Female faculty members are also placed in various college committees and

they play significant role in each of the college activity.

College has also established a Collegiate Women’s Development Cell

(CWDC), which takes care of the female student issues.

College arranges special programmes for girls in consultation with CWDC

to sensitization them towards various issues related to women like.

o Women Empowerment Programmes

o Self Defense Training Programmes

o Workshop for Legal Awareness in Women

o Counseling of female students as and when required

As a part of Governments move “Beti Bachao Abhiyan” college students

have prepared a play to create awareness in society on save girl child

movement.

CWDC organizes special expert lectures / talks for girl students on the

various issues related to girls like malnutrition, gynecological issues, legal

issues, etc.

In the academic year 2015 – 16, female students have been given self-

defense training for 10 days. In all, 30 female students had participated in

this training.

B. Environment Sensitization:

To create environment awareness amongst the students, as per the

guidelines of UGC, MHRD & the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, Gujarat

University has introduced a course in “Environment Science” as an elective

course under the CBCS scheme which is made compulsory for all students

of semester II.

To create environmental awareness, college conducts many programmes

like celebration of special days like environment day, ozone day, etc.



Moreover, college organizes plantation programmes, college campus

cleaning programmes by both students and the staff members.

Nature Club: College has also established a “Nature Club”, which

organizes programmes in collaboration with biodiversity board like talks

on environmental awareness, field trips to nearby areas in order to sensitize

students towards environmental issues.

No Plastic Bags: Plastic bags are prohibited in the college campus.

Promotion of CNG Vehicles: Faculty members and students are

encouraged to use CNG vehicles.

Bicycle Sharing Project GBike: Gandhinagar Urban Development

Authority (GUDA) has launched “Bicycle Sharing Project GBike:

Trin…Trin… Green…Green…Project” in March 2016 in order to

improve mobility and provide eco-friendly transportation within the city.

Students are encouraged to take benefit of the project and use GBike to

keep city clean and green. Under GBike project students can pick up

bicycle from any GBike stand and drop at any GBike stand.

RUSA Grant: Moreover, college is also one of the beneficiary of RUSA

grant, and as per the guidelines college focuses on equity and quality.

2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to educational/learning needs

of advanced learners?

Advanced learners and slow learners are identified from Students’ performance

in the continuous comprehensive evaluation process as well as from the results

of internal and external examination results.

Personal attention is given by faculty members on both the advanced learners

and slow learners.

Advanced learners are given superior assignments for helping them in their

knowledge of the subject.

Apart from internal examination institutes also conducts general knowledge

test and based on both the results institute provides the guidance and materials

to the successful students in the form of CD’s and also provide them the

Gujarat Rojgar Samachar subscription free of cost for one year.

College conducts two hours’ morning classes for providing the guidance

regarding competitive exams.

The institute provides guidance and material of question papers along with

solutions to those students appearing in National Graduate Physics

examinations conducted by Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT).

Students are also encouraged to participate in the National Essay competition

organized by Department of Atomic energy.

Advanced students are guided and encouraged to participate in seminars and

conferences organized by various institutes.

2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyze and use the data and information on

the academic performance (through the programmes duration) of the

students at risk of drop out (students from the disadvantage section of the

society/physically challenged/ slow learners, economically weaker sections

etc. who may discontinue their studies if some short of support is not

provided)?



The college collects and analyzes the data of their academic performance by

means of continuous comprehensive evaluations techniques like assignments,

regular checking of their practical record books & journals, conducting quiz &

viva, seminars and internal test.

Special assignments are given to slow learners. They are asked to solve the

question papers of the Gujarat University.

There arises no question of students drop out rate in the present semester

system of examination. Unsuccessful students are allowed to keep term in the

next semester and continue to do so till last semester of degree course. And

also, due to some personal reasons if by chance a student leaves his/her studies

in between the semester then also there is a provision that he/she can continue

their studies further whenever they wish to do so and can complete their degree

course.

Scholarships to socially and economically backward class students, scheduled

caste students and scheduled tribe students are disbursed every year as per

government rules by the college.

However, as mentioned in section 2.1.3, usually students with higher merits

admitted in F.Y. B.Sc. semester 1 after the first round of admission leave the

college as and when they got admissions in Engineering and Medical fields.

Usually, online admission process of B.Sc. starts first, whereas online

admission process including shuffling and re-shuffling in Engineering and

Medical fields take too much time. So, as per parents’ wish most of the students

with higher merit secure their admission in B.Sc., but after getting admission

in engineering / medical colleges of their wish, they leave the basic science

college. This seems as higher dropout rate at entry level, but this is not dropout

rate due to short of any kind of support.

2.3 Teaching -Learning Process 2.3.1 How does the institution plan and organize the teaching-learning and

evaluation schedules? (Academic calendar, teaching plan and evaluation

blue print, etc.)

A Academic calendar:

As per the guidance of principal, the IQAC cell of the college prepares

academic calendar in consultation of Heads of all the Departments and

chairman of different committees of college in accordance with Gujarat

University’s academic calendar.

The academic calendar includes tentative schedule of all the academic

activities, internal and external examinations, co-curricular activities and

extra-curricular activities including sports, cultural and extension activities.

The copy of academic calendar is issued to all Heads of departments and

chairmen of various committees, so that it can be executed accordingly.

College displays the Academic calendar on notice board and also uploads

it on college website before the commencement of every academic year. It

provides the plan of action for the upcoming academic year to teachers,

students and parents. Table 2.5 shows the academic calendar of the

institution for the current academic year 2016-17.

the planned time frame and calendar? If ‘yes’, elaborate on the challenges

encountered and the institutional approaches to overcome these.

The syllabus is completed by the faculty members within stipulated time as per

the course plan and calendar. However, special extra classes / practical sessions

are also arranged to cope up with the shortage of time.

2.3.11 How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching learning?

Continuous Internal Assessment:

Continuous internal assessment is carried out to evaluate the performance

of students’ learning as mentioned in detail in section 2.3.1.

Monitoring and evaluation through IQAC:

The institute monitors and evaluates the quality of teaching learning

through IQAC. It also conducts regular meetings of the heads of the

departments to have a close watch on the progress of teaching-learning as

per the calendar.

On the basis of feedbacks received from different stakeholders, it monitors

and evaluates the quality of teaching-learning.

Teachers and students may also approach the members of IQAC cell and

meet personally to give constructive suggestions regarding teaching-

learning.

Feedback on Teachers from Students by Questionnaire:

For the evaluation of teacher, the college has introduced the practice of

getting feedback from the students by a general questionnaire. The

questionnaire used to obtain students’ feedback on teachers is as shown

below. The questionnaire contains 10 items for the assessment of teacher.

Students have to give their feedback on each of the items by giving

appropriate grade (A, B, C, or D) designed on 4 – point scale. The grading

and scaling is as below:

Grade Qualitative Meaning Points

A Very Good 4

B Good 3

C Satisfactory 2

D Unsatisfactory 1.5

The analysis of the feedback is carried out through spread-sheet and

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is calculated for each of the

teacher. The histogram in figure 2.3 shows the subject wise CGPA obtained

for each teachers of the college, which reflects overall rating of the

teachers. From the findings of feedback, teacher is asked to do better in the

respective area for the improvement.

The outcome of the feedback analysis is informed to the respective teachers

so that they may understand their strengths and weaknesses, which

ultimately lead to overall improvement of the teaching-learning process.

2.4 Teacher Quality

2.4.1 Provide the following details and elaborate on the strategies adopted by the

college in planning and management (recruitment and retention) of its

human resource (qualified and competent teachers) to meet the changing

requirements of the Curriculum.

Strategies for Recruitment of Qualified and Competent Permanent

Teachers:

Ours being a government college, the selection process of permanent

teachers is carried out by State Government approved agency Gujarat

Public Service Commission (GPSC) as per the UGC Regulations-2010

and Government Recruitment Rules. On basis of the number of vacant seats

and sanction posts in Government Colleges of Gujarat, GPSC publishes the

advertisement of all the vacancies of teachers in well-known print media of

Gujarat. Sufficient time is given for the eligible candidates to apply. Then

GPSC conducts written examination for all the eligible applicants.

Subsequently, GPSC conducts face to face interview for the successful

candidates in written examination. Final selection is carried out by GPSC

on the basis of written examination and interview. This is how the selection

of teachers in Gujarat Education Service (GES) Class II cadre is carried out

for Government colleges.

After the completion of selection process by the GPSC, the list of all

successful candidates is recommended to Education Department,

Government of Gujarat for the further directions and recruitment orders.

The list of recommended candidates is further sent to the Office of

Commissioner of Higher Education (OCHE), Gandhinagar by the

Department of Education, Government of Gujarat. Based on the number of

vacant seats and sanction posts in Government Colleges of Gujarat, the

office of Commissioner of Higher Education gives posting to the successful

candidates selected & recommended by GPSC after the completion of

document verification, Medical fitness and police inquiry of the selected /

recommended candidates. This is how recruitment procedure for the

permanent teachers is carried out in government colleges.

Strategies for Recruitment of Qualified Teachers on Contractual Basis:

In case, if in respective subjects the number of successful candidates in

GPSC are less as compared to the vacant seats in government colleges then

Office of Commissioner of Higher Education follows the proper process of

selection and recruit the selected candidates on 11 months’ contractual

basis looking at the benefits of the students. And still if the seats are vacant

then the head of the institution based on the sanctioned post and workload

in the respective subjects can recruit visiting faculties in the benefits of the

students. Both the recruitment on contractual basis and visiting faculty are

based on Government Recruitment Rules and UGC Regulations-2010.

The institution has well qualified faculty members and it continuously

augments the capacity of faculty. The details of the teachers in present

situation are as shown in table 2.10. Figure 2.4 (a to c) shows the staff

profile with respect to highest qualification, permanent / temporary status

and gender, respectively.

their progress and overall development. Not a single faculty member has

left the college for this reason. However, being a Government college

transfer of faculty members takes place as per existing rules / norms of

transfer established by Government.

The college grants sabbatical leave to faculty members for higher studies.

The college also grants duty leave to faculty members and encouraged to

participate in OP, RC, FIP, FDP, STC etc. for their capacity building and

upgrade their academic qualifications so that they can fulfill their minimum

requirement for career advancement.

Faculty members are encouraged to participate in national and international

conferences, seminars, workshops. Many faculty members have presented



their research papers in national and international conferences. Nearly 05

faculty members have visited foreign universities for either presentation of

research papers or to attend workshops or to share best practices in

education.

Some of the faculties have played key role in the conceptualizing,

designing, planning and implementation of various initiatives like CBCS,

Saptadhara, etc. given by Knowledge Consortium of Gujarat (KCG) and

Commissionerate of Higher Education.

Moreover, few faculty members are involved in syllabus formation as they

are members of board of studies in their subjects.

Some of the faculty members have published books which depict their

involvement and expertise in the subject.

In addition to this, 05 faculty members are research guides and have guided

Ph.D. students under them.

2.4.2 How does the institute cope with growing demands/scarcity of qualified

senior faculty to teach new programmes/modern areas (emerging areas) of

New Recruitments of Permanent and Temporary Faculty Members:

In order to cope up with the growing demand of B.Sc. and scarcity of

faculty in college, the recruitment of new 11 permanent faculties as

assistant professors as well as 06 temporary contractual faculties as

Adhyapak Sahayak was carried out by GPSC / OCHE as mentioned in

section 2.4.1.

Out of newly recruited 11 permanent faculties, 07 faculty members are

Ph.D.’s, 05 faculty members are NET qualified, 02 are SLET qualified and

02 faculty members are GATE qualified. Moreover, 02 faculty members

performance and achievements of students in the college.

Formative assessment approaches adapted to measure student’s

achievement:

Formative evaluation method is used as continuous comprehensive

assessment process to measure students’ performance that helps teachers in

improvising teaching-learning processes.

Students are assessed not only based on their performance in final written

examination but also through various evaluation methods such as

punctuality in class through attendance, interaction of students during the

teaching – learning process, diagnostic informal assessment through

questioning during classroom teaching-learning process, classroom work,



homework, informal unit tests, unit wise assignments, quiz, students’

seminar, presentations, observational skills and data keeping in record

books during practical sessions, journal preparation, participation in

excursion, reports of industrial and field visits, participation in co-

curricular activities etc.

Recently, we have established an automatic attendance monitoring system

and started to take attendance of the students through biometrics.

Regular medical check-ups of students at entry level are conducted to

ensure physical and mental fitness of our students. This shows our holistic

approach to keep student not only academically updated but also mentally

and physically fit.

Summative assessment approaches adapted to measure student’s

achievement:

Summative assessment approaches include,

o Semester end internal written tests conducted by college

o Semester end external written examinations conducted by University

o Semester end practical examinations

Positive Impacts:

By using multipronged approaches in formative internal assessment, we

can take away the students from rote based learning and written

examination.

Students’ attendance increased.

Students regularly submit their assignments, journals.

2.5.5 Details on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and

transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years and

weightages assigned for the overall development of students (weightage for

behavioural aspects, independent learning, communication skills etc.)

The process of internal assessment is carried out as per the guidelines of the

university and is closely monitored by the examination committee, HoDs and

Principal to ensure rigor and transparency.

The results of internal marks are prepared confidentially on spread-sheets by

the departments in close monitoring of HoDs. Departmental results are sent to

respective internal marks committee for online submission and the process is

carried out confidentially under the direct supervision of Principal.

The results are displayed on the notice board after every internal examination.

The answer books are also shown to the students on their demands for

transparency in evaluation process.

The institute scrutinizes the progress of the students through its internal

evaluation system and attendance is strictly maintained by each department

which is reflected in the internal evaluation.

As per the GU guidelines, 75% attendance is mandatory for appearing in final

examination. So, the students with poor attendance are not allowed to attend

the university exams and their parents are briefed about their performance.

Those students who performed best in university examination are duly

honoured and awarded during the annual function. This is a moment of

inspiration for the students to take up studies seriously.

Weightage is also given on the behavioral aspects like attendance, regularity

and punctuality in work, team work during practical session, class room



interaction, etc.; communication skills like presentations in seminars and report

writing; and independent learning like assignments, do it-yourself exercises,

etc.

Extension Activities:

The extension activities of NSS and NCC help in generating awareness

about social issues and problems.

Our institute has adopted a village where NSS students and few faculty

members go there and stay for a week in the village. The students interact

with the people by personally visiting every resident of the adopted village

for bringing awareness regarding AIDS, cleanliness, necessity of primary

education for their kids, eradicate smoking and drinking habits. In this way

NSS students get connected to the society.

Our institute has a practice of donating educational kits to the students of

municipal primary schools from the income generated from the celebration

of canteen day in the college by the students. In this way students are

connecting for noble cause of the society.

Garden School: Our NSS students also conduct informal garden school to teach the poor

children staying in the slum areas that are weak at Science & Mathematics

and thus contribute their knowledge to the society.



Institutional & Industrial Visits: Visit to EDI (Entrepreneurship

Development Institute), IFFCO, FSL, FCIPT, IPR and other educational study

tours are arranged for the students by the institute to provide exposure and

motivate them for research aptitude.

Career Counseling & Classes for Competitive Exams:

CRITERION- VII INNOVATIONS

AND

BEST PRACTICES

Criterion- VII: Innovations and Best Practices


CRITERIA VII INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 Environment Consciousness 7.1.1 Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and facilities?

Gandhinagar, the capital of Gujarat is known as a green city. Government

Science College is situated in this green city. The campus is surrounded by

good number of old trees and fresh plantation maintained by college. Botany

Department of College has developed botanical garden having medicinal and

other useful plants. A green audit is carried out for entire city undergone hence

there is no need to go it separately. But this institution has also opted to go for

green audit through GEMI. Van Shree trust, Gandhinagar is continuously

monitoring this activity. In order to save environment, reuse of papers for

printing purpose and writing a short note/message on piece of waste paper

from computer printer is a common practice.

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco-

friendly?

Energy conservation

To get good score we also put more weight on use of LED bulbs, use of

solar energy in place of electricity, rain water storage and ground water

recharge. notices are display on the college web page.

Class rooms are full of air circular and open window type so minimum use

of energy in the form of fans and bulbs are required. We continuously

check the lights are off when in not use or required.

Class rooms are equipped with minimum power consuming LED bulb.

In the Gandhinagar city, the state government has started G bike bicycle

project so most of the student utilized bicycles for comes to college in the

form of transportations.

College organizes awareness programs frequently like Ozone Day

celebration, Environment day celebration, Van Mahotsav, Plantation

camps to conserve energy and protect environment. Subject of

environment studies is also a part of syllabus for all students.

Seminars on topics like ‘Nuclear Energy’ and ‘Biodiversity’ to enlighten

staff and students. College offers Biodiversity and environmental studies

as a part of curricula during course.

As a contribution to minimize carbon emission or carbon neutrality, this

institute has good control over use of air conditioner. We also insist to

circulate notices on college web page to minimize use of papers.

College is having hostel facility where 100 students are accommodated in

the hostel because of room sharing one fan or bulb may utilized for three

students so energy can be saved. All the bulbs are of less power consuming

of LED bulb.

Use of polythene bags on campus is strictly discouraged

Encouraging the use of CNG based vehicles among staff, students and also

surrounding community



Use of Renewable energy

Government Science College has stalled solar panels in good number on the

terrace of the college building as well as on hostel building. Using this solar

penal all the bulb and fens in the class room are work. By using of these solar

panels light bill is reduced by 50%.

Water harvesting and storage

Water harvesting is very useful for the science colleges as this facility is used

in the practical work by chemistry and botany department where double

distilled (Salt free) water is essential. Government Science College has big

terrace area is useful to collect rain water in the big tank, kept at ground level.

This collected rain-water is then used throughout the year in all the

Departments. Thus, the revenue is also saved every year.



Hazardous waste management

Government Science college has NSS unit. It works actively since last four
